Fuck you cunt never post again

Ok.

Delete this! It was only a metaphor! Fucking fedoras, you don't understand! I think god talks to me in my own internal monologues, and this gives me hope, of something, therefore everything in the bible is true even though it seems blatantly false!

Rule of Law and democracy are possible without a constitution, but other checks and balances must be in order. That isn't to say these would be infallible, but neither is the constitution.

I wouldn't say it's impossible, some leaders are attempting to do just that. Erdogan wouldn't be an absolute monarch, but a presidentialistic system approaches such a state of affairs more than a parlamentaristic system does. This isn't good if you like checks and balances.

A constitutionalist system is possible without a constitution say with the presence of supreme court governing all that is happening. However, I believe such a system cannot exist currently, even if a country is governed by an absolute monarch, the power of the monarch will still be limited through the outside influence of international organizations, treaties and so on. When it comes to international law, the incorporation of a hierarchical structure is impossible due to differences in all of the interests involved and in a sense this reflects upon domestic laws. If you take domestic law without the international influence, yes, perhaps it is possible to construe a constitutionalist hierarchy, however, in the grander scheme I do not see a way for this to happen.

Why do countries fuck themselves over by creating inflexible written constitutions?

>>2660177
It's a meme.

>>2660177
I think because the first World War seemed it could have easily been avoided at a few turns where WW2 is seen as inevitable.

Because Russians and Chinese were the majority of that death toll

WW2 only killed 200,000 Frenchmen and 300,000 British men

WW1 Killed 1.1 million Frenchmen and 850,000 British Men

So no wonder it's remembered more in anglo countries

They were, only poleshits say otherwise

How were they a meme if they often won against overwhelming odds? Name some major hussar defeats.

>>2659942
Yeah, it was a nice victory, no denying it.
But Sweden at that time was a joke (they lost to Denmark shortly after) and still won the whole war in the end and conquered the Baltics

Harder to call the US an empire without the phillipines and cuba

>>2659880
I meant are we in decline along the lines of the Roman Empire or British Empire with an overextended foreign policy, or if we're going to reform our politics to an imperial system like the Roman Republic did so it could more effectively govern/expand its territory?

>>2659888

The US Empire by invitation has been in decline since 1990. Joe Schlub is starting to notice.

I think that this scale represents people who are so poor that they are slaves in all but name, and it may count human trafficking/sexual slavery, which is, as you know, illegal. Still the scale is ridiculous, from 0.04 to 0.75. With a few countries above. And Jesus what the fuck is going on in Mauritania?

>>2659867
Because that map has a wide as fuck criteria.
Also kinda leads to people ignoring shit in the lighter colored parts of the map.

>>2659874
Yeah, judging by the eastern Europe coloring (bar Russia), it's mostly human trafficking and sex slaves. Also, Moldova sticks out like a sore thumb.

This was modern war!

I think it helped pull the breaks on the war train that had been going since the first world war

However, nuclear proliferation will mean that eventually some dingbat with no sense of morality will get their hands on material he (or she) can use to effect tremendous harm on x country, people, or whatever else they don't like.

Making nuclear weapons is harder than it appears, and if its a singlular person, its damn near impossible. Even nations have a tough time making nuclear weapons.
I think that if Pakistan and India, two nations notorious for hating each other and not afraid to actually shoot it out, aren't willing to nuke each other, it really says a lot about how deterrence is still a legitimate argument for nuclear weapons. That said, the future is never certain.

Peace keeper, so far.

Oh hey, I recognize this image. It's an Italian propaganda poster. The caption below says "The German is truly our friend".

I want to live in a world where the germans took all the funds for holocausting jews and gays and put it toward transforming them into smiling germaboo allies or something

i would have been their friend :'(

>>2659665

very Orwellian, kek

it would be an alternate universe where my family still had our holdings in surrey, and my ancestor's factory had won out over its ruthless competitors

and the moon is likely close enough for frenchmen to launch themselves at it from cannons, and it's made of cheese

>>2659643
funny, if the commies wouldn't take over in my country after the war, we would also get to keep our factory and stuff. Sure, nazis would not be fun to deal with, but maybe just marginally better than commie repossessions...

>>2659670
lebensraum would pretty much mean that your family would have nothing and be replaced with germans by now.
